Maddy summaryHB 150 amends New Hampshire law to allow home-based food producers (called "homestead food operations") to use commercial kitchen equipment in their primary residence kitchens. It specifically permits this for non-hazardous foods prepared for sale, provided the equipment can be cleaned and sanitized within the home kitchen area. The bill defines "commercial kitchen equipment" as professional-grade tools designed for heavy use, but requires it to meet home kitchen sanitation standards. This change directly affects small-scale home food businesses in New Hampshire seeking to scale operations without moving to a commercial facility.

establishing a committee to study adding statewide resources to assist with the investigation, training, prosecution, and prompt response of animal cruelty.
Maddy summaryHB 153 establishes a committee to study how New Hampshire could create statewide resources for animal cruelty cases. The committee, composed of three House members and one Senate member, will examine current law enforcement training, identify best practices for prosecution and response, and recommend ways to form a coordinated statewide resource group. It must report its findings and recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2025. This bill does not fund or create new resources itself, but sets up a process to evaluate how to improve animal cruelty investigations and responses. (HB 153, 2025 session)
